Diagnosis of the evaluation of the professional performance of the Comprehensive General Stomatologist in the care of dentoalveolar fracture

Introduction: The evaluation of the professional performance of the Comprehensive General Stomatologist is vital for the stomatological care of dentoalveolar fracture. Objective: To diagnose the professional performance of the Comprehensive General Stomatologist in the care of dentoalveolar fracture. Methods: Theoretical and empirical methods were used that allowed to establish the foundations that led to systematizations, as well as to the diagnosis of the current state of the professional performance of this specialist at the "Hermanos Cruz" Teaching Polyclinic in Pinar del Río. Results: Problems were identified according to the dimensions in the Care dimension, they have inaccuracies in the identification of FDA risk factors, difficulty in the classification of dentoalveolar trauma, in the clinical diagnosis, in the FDA reduction and splinting technique, in the interpretation of radiographic data and in the therapeutic integration of FDA. In the Research Improvement dimension, they have little motivation for organizational activities of improvement related to FDA and self-improvement in this subject. There is little interest in publishing in scientific journals, which leads to little scientific production related to the care of patients with FDA. In the Educational dimension, they have difficulties in patient and family orientation and in carrying out educational activities on FDA. The level of communication is considered an aspect in development. In the Managerial dimension, they have insufficient knowledge for decision-making in relation to FDA. Aspects in development are considered to be the ability to develop teamwork, to maintain flexible human relations through affective dialogue and the level of critical demand. In the Professional and Human Behavior dimension, aspects in development are considered to be the level of maintaining discretion regarding patient information, the ability to achieve empathy in the stomatologist-patient and family relationship, the ability to achieve empathy in the stomatologist-work colleagues relationship and the level at which the application of bioethics and professional ethics is manifested. The potential identified in the performance of the EGI was the frequent participation in ICT improvement courses. Potentialities were identified in the subjective order, such as the will to improve, the support of management to facilitate the process, the material assurance of the system and the logistical infrastructure to undertake actions to improve performance. Conclusions: The diagnosis allowed us to identify problems and potentialities of the object studied. An alternative to solve the scientific problem is proposed, which is the development of a strategy for professional development.
